~ listening

(Mar 28/09) Today I breathe deeply in the spring air, knowing that under the carpet of earth, something is beginning to grow. The trees are budding, even in the rain and wind. My life is based on resiliance and founded in faith that I will find my way if I look inside and listen to my own creative voice. I used to ignore that voice in favour of all others, thinking they knew best. Now I listen carefully to all voices but value my own as well. I question why I think what I think. Is it my truth, or is it something I've integrated over time. I gather information and try to put aside preconceptions in choosing my path. I find time to be alone and think, to be silent and breathe, to observe the season changing from winter to spring. I value each moment of living and life.
